The Advance Redoubt at Fort Adams is truly a treasure. Few people even know it exists.

Thought I would show a before and after. The first time I went to mow I was pretty unhappy, vines wrapping the cutter shaft I even called backup. But got it done. Really pleased with the way it came out.

Last week I gave the 'Sleepy Man Banjo Boys' a tour of the outer works at the fort (1/4 mile from the Redoubt in the pictures) after they performed a set in a giant tent (set up for the Folk and Jazz Fests). What talent! Possibly more impressive is they are truly nice young folks with humility and good manners. It was a great honor to show the place to such nice kids. I didn't know they played the main stage the year before until afterwards. Turns out they have been in the interior ditch before!
